Sharpe Ratio

The current Pinwheel Portfolio Sharpe ratio is 1.44. This value is calculated based on the past 12 months of trading data and takes into account price changes and dividends.

Compared to the broad market, where average Sharpe ratios range from 1.77 to 2.59, this portfolio's current Sharpe ratio places it in the bottom 25%. This suggests that it may not be performing as well in terms of risk-adjusted returns compared to many other portfolios.
